XM announced a new programming lineup today. I am very disapointed to see that On The Rocks is leaving XM's lineup.
The announcement of these changes are very disapointing.
I think its time for some management changes at XM.
Here is the info.

We're enhancing our programming lineup to give you more music, more sports and greater choices than ever. On August 2nd, we will be revamping the Latin Neighborhood to include more vibrant music choices, creating a new Lifestyles Neighborhood, and adding college sports channels that will include game coverage for the ACC and PAC-10. This change affects some existing channel numbers, so be sure to read below.
From pulsating Latin Pop hits on Alegría to the regional Mexican and Tejano flavors on Aguila, new vibrant beats are coming to the Latin Neighborhood. The Latin Jazz of Luna will move into the Latin Neighborhood from XM 75 to XM 95. All three join the Tropical music on Caliente - XM 94 to round out XM's Latin Neighborhood.
Alegría - XM 90 - Latin Pop Hits
Latin Pop hits with a mixture of Rock guitars, Caribbean percussion and eclectic alternative sounds. The continual synthesis of sounds from the Americas mixing Blues and ranchera, pop and tango, rock and vallenato, cumbia and hip hop. Alegría will replace XM's current Latin Pop Hits channel, Caricia - XM 91.
Aguila - XM 92 - Regional Mexican
Ultra contemporary, yet traditional and classic, Aguila is a fluid, ground-breaking blend of folksy norteño sounds, pulsating cumbria rhythms, soulful banda horns, thumping tejano, sentimental rancheras and much more. Warm and sensuous, Aguila has a unique regional Mexican Flavor all its own.
College Sports Channels
College sports channels will be added to the Sports lineup on Channels 180-187. The college sports channels, including the ACC and PAC-10, will broadcast college football and men's and women's basketball games to listeners, fans, and alumni across the country starting later this summer.
As the season nears, games and schedules will be posted on collegesports.xmradio.com. (Schedules subject to change.)

When you turn on XM on August 2, 2004, your radio may need a few minutes to receive the updates from our satellites. During this time, what you hear may not match what is displayed on your radio. Please do not change channels during this time, it will only delay the update to your radio receiver.
Once the update is complete, your radio will function properly. And remember, if one of your presets is set to one of the channels that is moving, don't worry; your preset will automatically update to the new channel number.
